Title: Rihanna Reflects on Creative Rebirth and Motherhood Journey Amid Anticipated Return to Music
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rihanna, the nine-time Grammy winner, offers a glimpse into the creative process behind her upcoming ninth studio album, affectionately dubbed ‘R9’, marking her long-awaited return to the music scene following her last release, ‘Anti’, in 2016.
In a recent feature with Interview Magazine, Rihanna shared her insights, revealing a unique approach to her creative journey. While balancing her flourishing business ventures, including Fenty Beauty, and embracing motherhood with her two sons, the 36-year-old songstress expressed a surge of visual inspiration for her next album, even though the musical compositions are still in the works.
“It’s weird. My brain is working backward right now. I usually have the music first, and the music leads me into all of these visual opportunities, and now I’m having all of these visuals,” she shared. “I don’t have the songs for them yet.”
Despite the unconventional shift in her creative process, Rihanna remains optimistic, suggesting that this reversal could unveil new avenues of artistic expression. “But maybe that’s the key, this time. Maybe the visual ideas are leading me to the songs that I need to make,” she mused.
When probed about the significance of these visual concepts signaling a “rebirth,” Rihanna playfully hinted at a spectrum of eclectic ideas, teasing, “random ideas, quirky ideas, things that have nothing to do with me at all.” Amid speculation about her musical hiatus, Rihanna affirmed that her focus on motherhood was not a deliberate choice but has become the most rewarding chapter of her journey thus far.
Reflecting on her career evolution from chart-topping artist to multifaceted entrepreneur and mother, Rihanna expressed gratitude for the unpredictability of her path. “The only thing that I knew I wanted, or that I could imagine, was motherhood,” she shared. “I didn’t know how it would come, but it is the best part of my journey so far. Everything else was a surprise.”
